JUST like May" is the comment on
the weather.
WHEAT is worth 70 cents per bushel
in Ogden now.
R. G. LAMBERT, of the Deseret NelUs,
was in the city yesterday.
Snow in Cache Valley is said to he
from six to eight inches deep yet.
The police court was cheated of one
case yesterday by the duplicity of the
prosecuting witness.
VIM. D. VAN NoY Of Richmond and
Israel West of Preston, were in the city
yesterday and go north this morning.
JOSEPH A. WEST delivered an eloquent
and powerful discourse in the Third
Ward on Sunday evening. He was
listened to with the greatest attention.
INQUIRIES were quite frequent on the
street yesterday as to how the Brigham
City election was going. These seemed
to be considerable interest manifest as
to how many votes would be cast.
A certain United States Commissioner
of Ogden is liable to wake up some
IL OTulnS, anu uuu Cdl6 lOlu IudI he
will hardly relish, or it may be that he
will have to take it to bed with him.
The story is said to be rather tough
one.
THE question is frequently asked :
Will all officers now holding their posi-
tons in this Territory be compelled to
take the new test oath? The officers
have not been accustomed to taking
more than one oath of Office for the
privilege of serving one term.
THE case against D. J. Smith was dis
missed in the police court yesterday
afternoon. is said that Smith pointed
a pistol at his wife and shook his fists
in her face to induce her TO- give up her
money. She swore out a complaint
against the belligerent Smith and had
him taken into custody and finally
bound over to keep the peace. Yester-
day when the case came up, however,
she could remember nothing whatever
of the occurrence, and as she was the
only witness against the defendant the
case was dismissed. A pretty kettle of
fish, and one that somewhat riled the
police court officials. The next time
Mrs. Smith wants her hubby arrested,
The Marshal says he will be on hand.

AFTER BURGLARS.
An Early Morning Incident on Market
Street That Furnished Some Fun.

street That Furnished some Il I'm.
About one o'clock this morning the
il nitor at the Lincoln Club rooms, upon
returning home from festival, saw man
crawling into the basement Of George
bursts establishment next door. He
awoke Mr.. burst, and informed him of
what he had seen, and the latter, hastily
Slipping on his trousers and socks, hunted
up great bigp pop, which had not been usen
for many moons. he then went out the
front way and down Twelfth street, where
he found Nightwatchman Murdoch, and
taking him back with him, stationed him
in the alley in the rear of the basement, to
watch for the supposed burglar.
Mr.. burst then blew police whistle,
which was responded to by Officer West
and about dozen people, large and
small. When they went into the alley the
guard was found standing with his arm
Outstretched and his revolver pointed dead
at the building, and had the burglar been
80 unfortunate as to come out, he would
have no doubt played prominent part at
a funeral.
When the crowd collected, light was
secured from the REGISTER Office and the
gang, with guns drawn, marched boldly
up to the basement door, which was locked,
but hen everything was ready they
all rushed at the door and the iastenings
gave way with q crash. About sixteen
pops filled the doorway. If a burglar had
made All attempt to escape through that
door he would have been too full OF holes to
make q decent top to pepper box. As
it was, after the first thrill Of excitement
wore away, the eyes of the party peered in
to the room, and there stood man with
mouth open, hat on the floor and hair
standing on end, while you could have
knocked his eyes off with base ball bat.
1t is good thing for that man that he was
too scared to move, or the wind would
have been whistling through many holes
in his body.
He was scared stiff, and when Mr.. burst
dropped his revolver so he could see in
front of him, he discovered that the man
was his head baker. Then the crowd dis.
persed, and when the dough weaver got
his breath he stated that he had found
himself locked out, and crawled into the
room to sleep the balance OF the night.
And he didn't take the cake.

How It all Happened.

Special Telegram 10 the Register.
EVANSVILLE, D., July 14.-The internal
trouble in the GAINESVILLE ball club came to
a head on the ball ground this afternoon
when the players deliberately refused to
accept the game the Wheeling club was
Offering them by bad errors. The local
men ran bases like ice wagons, and to cap
the climax, in the latter part of the game,
Johnson refused to support Gumbert and
allowed the visitors to run around the bases
and cross the home plate at their pleasure.
In the latter part of the game the Wheel
ing men got together and played good ball
Evansville played a good fielding game,
but threw all chances away while at the
bat. johnson was fined for Indifferent
PLAYING and the GAINESVILLE directors are in
session tonight considering the cases OF
other players. There is much dissatisfac-
ton with the management, and change is
probable. The umpiring today was
wretched, both sides being roasted by a
green man sent here by President Voegele.
Following is the score:

To the Editor Of the Register:
Our friends of the Citizens Railway
Company declared dividend in January
last of five per cent, in April one of three
per cent, and am iniOrmed by one of the
largest stockholders that they have just
now declared dividend of four per cent.
This is doing very well for the stock holders,
but how is it as far as the public Is con-
ceTned? Is it OF about time there was a
reduction in fares? Many persons are OF
the opinion that the time is at hand when
there should be an oVerhauling Of the fare
rates. II is about time the fiyecent fare
rate was adopted, without being compelled
TO invest q quarter. Our Island friends
should have relief heard q gentleman
remark the other day that an Island resi-
dent in the First ward, or in any other
portion of the city having to use the street
cars, can only ride on one fare to the Nc
Lure House, another fare has to be paid
in order to reach home. These are needed
reforms, md should be adopted. Come,
gentlemen OF the Street Car Company. You
cannot longer plead the poverty act Don't
be tOohari on your friends, the Public.

THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
And the Resolutions Adopted at the Recent
Meeting.

Meeting.
At the recent meeting of the State Board
of Health resolutions regarding the condi-
ton of the water supply of Wheeling were
passed. The preamble to the resolutions
reads as follows:
WHEREAS, A report, that is believed
to be authentic, has reached the State
Board of Health of West Virginia that the
water supply and general sanitary eondi-
ton of the city of Wheeling is in a most
reprehensible and alarming condition, and
that whereas, the percentage of sickness
and mortality from typhoid fever is un-
equaled in any city in the United States
and surpassed by few cities in the world"
&c, &c
A REGISTER reporter, with the idea in
his mind that, while the State Board Of
Health no doubt had the good of the city
at heart, the language of the preamble was
greatly exaggerated, called on Health Off
Ger Reed yesterday and asked him for some
information regarding the matter. Said the
doctor:
1.-THE statement that the mortality from
typhoid fever in Wheeling is greater than
any other city is preposterous. We must
acknowledge that our water supply is not
the best in the world, but if it is TO be i'm
proved l do think the adoption of such
resolutions by the State Board of Health is
the proper way to accomplish that end.
About the only thing the publication Of
such action would do would be to seriously
injure the reputation Of the city and pre-
vent people coming here to locate"
"Well, can you tell how Wheeling COM
pares with other cities regarding the death
rate from typhoid feyer?'
"Not very we'll at this moment, but ]
know that it is very favorable. In the past
three months we have only had four deaths
from typhoid fever contracted in Wheel
ing. Two Of these were in April, none In
May and two in June, / should say that
this is pretty good showing. / have the
report here OF the mortality statis-
tics from o number of cities for the
month of May, and we will COM
pare few river cities with Wheeling.
Commencing with Pittsburg with a popu-
lation of 202, 900, there were IA deaths
from typhoid fever in May, which is about
one to the 14,OOO Cincinnati has a popu-
lation of 325, 600, and ~ deaths for May is
the record, which is one for each $1,000.
Gallipolis, with 5000, had one death;
Bellaire, 5000, one; East Liverpool, 5000,
one, and Louisville, 10000, two. Phila-
delphia, with 993, 900, had "a deaths. This
is pretty fair showing, as all but one of
the above places are along the river, and
on an equal footing with Wheeling. This
doesn't look like Wheeling has higher
death rate from typhoid fever than any
other city in the country, does it?

Notes.

The Wheeling boys downed GAINESVILLE
yesterday without any trouble, much to
the delight of our local base ball enthusi-
asts, who were loud in their expressions
of admiration when the welcome news
came in. The telegram from GAINESVILLE
of course lets their club down as easy as
possible, by charging the defeat to the
home teams inability to take advantage oil
bad errors ON the part of the visitors, but
seventeen base-hits and five earned runs
for Wheeling, and nine hits and one earned
run for their opponents, tells the story to
our satisfaction. The news that lanes
vile threw away all chance while at bat
is as striking as it is original. Below will
be found the different reports Of the game,
together with the full score.

Total increase

This showing is a splendid one and is
cause for rejoicing on all sides. Ii shows
that Wheeling is going to the front rap
idly. and it is predicted that when the
totals of the other enumerators are handed
in the total population will be in the
neighborhood of 81, 900. Said we'll post
ed gentleman last evening, while looking
over the figures above presented:
"Of course the remaining wards will not
maintain the rate of increase shown here.
All will fall behind these figures, with the
exception, possibly, of the Seventh ward,
which is increasing in population rapidly,
but il is safe TO say the total increase in the
city over last year will be 1900. There
is not much growth in the older portions
of the city, but there is some, while the
Seventh, Fourth, and Fifth wards will be
found to be doing very well. The good
times of the past twelve months are respon-
sible for this, and think the outlook for
even better showing next year is excel
lent"
Anxious to see if the decided increase in
population in the lower portion of the city
had made any external showing, REGIS.
TER reporter yesterday made tour OF the
Sixth and Eighth wards He lett the To-
cality with the distinct impression that in
no quarter of town, except, probably, on
the southern portion Of the Island, is
there more building and general improve
ment. New houses, many of them Of u
substantial character, are going up all over
the two lower wards, and there is no doubt
OF the presence of boom Of decidedly r0-
bust dimensions. 1t has not been many
years since the name of the Eighth ward or
Ritchietown involuntarily brought to ones
mind unhappy visions Of goose ponds upon
whose placid surface there reposed beau
tiful green scum five months in the year;
grass grown cutters, streets without cross
ings, scattered dwellings of a more or less
pronounced ramshackle character, untenc-
ed lots and a general air of repugnace and
disappointment. The scene has changed
very decidedly, and now large portion Of
the two lower wards presents an aspect
fully rs inviting as can be found even
in the Garden Spot. OF course, there
are still some parts of the old Independent
Republic which do not blossom rs the rose,
but these localities are rapidly becoming
the exception, and with some further we'll
directed aid from the city in the way Of
paved streets and adequate sewerage, the
last goose pond will vanish, and the weed
covered vacant lots will be utilized for the
erection of residences to supply the aug
menting demand. The permanent inn
provement of Caldwell's run will also do
much to build up the lower end of the
city.
Tine old town is on the right track.
Let's keep movin'.
